When the leaves start changing colors, many potential home buyers and sellers start to put their real estate plans on hold. But fall, with its cooler temperatures and beautiful scenery, is actually an ideal time to embark on your real estate journey. This guide, presented by The Sprich Group—a leading Grand Rapids real estate agent- will provide answers to your seasonal housing market questions and demonstrate the benefits of buying or selling a home in Grand Rapids this fall.


The Advantages of Real Estate in the Fall

The fall season presents several unique opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Let's explore these benefits in detail:



Less Market Competition

Many families aim to move during the summer to accommodate school schedules, which often results in a crowded marketplace. When fall arrives, fewer buyers are actively looking, which can lead to less competition and increased chances to find your dream home (source).


End-of-Year Sales and Discounts

For buyers, fall presents the advantage of year-end sales, which often occur in the furniture and home decor industry. This allows the new homeowners to furnish their homes at discounted prices (source).

Tips For Selling in the Fall

Selling your home in the fall? Keep these tips in mind:

  1. Take advantage of the natural beauty of fall. Use warm, autumnal hues to enhance your home's curb appeal.
  2. Keep your home well-lit. As the days shorten, good lighting will make your home feel warm and welcoming (source).


Tips For Buying in the Fall

Are you in the market to buy a home this fall? Here are some suggestions:


  1. Inspect the roof and gutters. Create a checklist for signs that the home has been well-taken care of during changing seasons.
  2. Explore the neighborhood. Fewer scheduled activities and outdoor events in the fall allow you a clearer picture of typical neighborhood dynamics.
